Grandmothers like to grumble: they say the young people are all scientists, but they don’t know simple elementary rules. Meanwhile, ancient folk signs really hold a lot of wisdom.

Ancient folk signs about pregnancy, children and family

Signs about pregnancy and children

A pregnant woman should not wear a skirt above her knees - the child will be sick. Skirts should be worn below the knees. If you are infertile, wear a linen shirt (it helps with everything). Grow a ficus in the bedroom and care for it like a child.

On Christmas Eve, light a candle that will burn until the morning and ask the Virgin Mary to give you a child.

Children born in winter are happier; people born in the 7th, 8th, 9th months most often have no harmony in the family and no health.

If a child is born with his head facing north, he will always be healthy; to the west - short-lived; to the east - a loser; to the south - frail, lethargic, painful.

Ancient folk signs for women

During menstruation, a woman should not cook, as there is a strong transmission of diseases in both directions. It also cannot be treated. At this time, it is good to drink tea from linden, birch, and willow.

Quick and sudden movements take a woman out of her mental balance and lead to disorder, which will manifest itself even on her face.

Ancient folk signs about the house

There should be no cobwebs in the apartment, especially black spiders (the soul of a black magician or sorcerer moves into them). The web is the presence of an evil spirit in the house.

The cobwebs should be collected, preferably on a willow branch, and thrown out of the house. Spiders cannot be killed; they should be caught somewhere and also thrown outside the apartment.

Don't throw away your hair and cut nails, you need to bury them. Try to prevent strangers in your house from combing their hair; the hair left behind by others draws energy to its owner.

Do not lose the wedding ring or give it to anyone. If you lose it, it means divorce, and if you let it be measured, your husband will cheat.

When preparing food, you should pour the first spoon into a saucer and leave it with a wooden spoon until the evening. This is food for astral beings and brownies.

An evil spirit sits on abandoned things, things need to be hung up.

Ancient folk signs about family

In order for newlyweds to have a good life, it is advisable to put bay leaves and rowan berries in their shoes at night before the wedding.

Before you pick a rowan tree, you need to like the branches, because you can’t pick a rowan tree without doing anything, there will be misfortunes.

In the morning, remove the bay leaf and the rowan sprig, and when you throw it away, ask them for forgiveness.

In order to restore harmony in the family, you need to make a bouquet: seven cloves of garlic, 7 bay leaves (it attracts people), several branches of oak (this is longevity), clover (from witchcraft and devils), rosemary (helps to recognize diseases and black magic), ash (protects from snakes and sorcerers), rowan (brings happiness to the home). You can add other magical plants.

Ancient folk signs about health and money

Signs about illness and health

The cause of illness is three evils: money-grubbing, anger, ignorance.

Friday is the devil's day, and so is the night. You can’t start doing anything - there will be no luck.

Seven passions that lead to illness:

abundant joy is a heart attack;
constant sadness - lung damage;
anger - liver disease;
envy - damage to the liver and kidneys;
tearfulness - damage to the heart membrane;
fear - gallbladder damage, diabetes mellitus;
immeasurable care - damage to the spleen.

Signs of money

You cannot borrow money or give anything on Monday, because during the week you will have losses, and the one who borrowed will always have a good week and profit.

Signs about sleep and bed

You need to go to bed at least 1 minute before midnight. Otherwise you lie down with the devil. Get out of bed facing the room and step on your right foot. Then the day will pass peacefully.

If you stay in bed for a long time, you can get mental illness.

If you sleep with your head to the north: - this means health, good dreams, etc.; to the south - drowsiness, irritability, loss of complexion, etc. You cannot sleep with your head to the west - there will be many diseases.

The nightgown should have a sleeve that covers the shoulder area of the arms (protection from night entities). It is good to wash your hands together with your shoulders in the morning.

After sleeping, we must wash our hands immediately, because when we fall asleep, the unclean spirit is applied to our hands and it is still there. You should wash your face without touching your eyes.

When washing your face, concentrate your thoughts on the feeling of freshness that the water gives and say:

“Let the love of God shine on my face, let my spiritual face be washed while washing my physical face in the name of immortality and eternal love in immortality and eternal wisdom in which we live and exist. Let this water cleanse me of all impurities.”

If you have a nightmare, you need to look out the window and say three times: “Where there is night, there comes sleep.” Before sunrise, you cannot tell your family a bad dream, otherwise it will definitely come true.

If a small child laughs in his sleep, then at this time angels are playing with him. It would be a sin to wake him up or disturb him at this moment.

If a deceased person in a dream calls you to him (for himself) or says: “I’ll pick you up,” then this is a very bad omen. If you dreamed of a dead man, it means that he is asking for the peace of his soul.

You need to light a candle in the church and give it for the repose. The dead also dream of bad weather, rain, blizzards.

Signs for dreams. When in a dream it seems that someone is waking you up and calling you, do not respond and do not look out the window - this is one of your deceased relatives calling you to them.

Whoever cries in a dream will laugh in reality. If you dreamed that you were getting married (or getting married), then this is a bad omen. You should go to church and say a prayer.

A dream seen on a holiday can come true no later than half the next day. They say: “A holiday nap is until lunch,” but on Friday it is “valid” all day. In order not to remember dreams, you need to hold the crown of your head.

Ancient folk signs of the church

You should go to church without hairpins so that spiritual energy flows well.

When going to church, before entering, ask God for forgiveness, step over and look around, buy 40 candles, light them for everyone you remember, and light the last one to the Mother of God. Bring the remaining candles home, place one of them on the window to burn out to the end.

Light another candle, go outside the threshold and walk along the door from bottom to top from the left corner, then go into the room and do the same. Extinguish the candle only with your fingers or a cross. Doors should be cleaned weekly.

Folk signs and superstitions, I have long wanted to tell you about some of them. Over many centuries, a large number of signs and superstitions have accumulated. I can’t tell you everything; firstly, it’s impossible to know everything, and secondly, we don’t need everything. We only know what is typical for our region. There are indeed some subtleties on some points, and that’s where I want to start.

Folk signs and superstitions.

How to hang a horseshoe.

In almost every village there lived a grandmother who was a healer, or less often a healer. They treated not only physical diseases. And they treated not only with herbs, but also with various spells and actions incomprehensible to us. One of these actions was a pin pinned to the chest. They used to talk, but now we wear them just like that. And our protection from evil people depended on how it was pinned. For example, if a pin hung with its head up, it was believed that this would protect us from the evil eye. It was as if we were gouging out our eyes with this pin. If the pin hangs head down, then this protected from an evil tongue, from various slander. We seemed to be stabbing the tongues of those people who would like to slander us. Now pins are very widely represented by our jewelers, both in their pure form and in the form of various brooches. It is not necessary to wear the pin strictly vertically; you can also wear it horizontally with a slight tilt in the direction you want.

Of course it will, there are a lot of superstitions and prejudices. I believe that if you believe in something very strongly or think, for example, about something bad, then it will definitely happen. We ourselves attract everything good or bad into our lives. You need to believe that nothing bad will happen to you and it will be so. Well, you decide for yourself whether to believe in omens or not...

There have long been a huge number of signs from observant people. They relate to many areas of life and it is quite difficult to remember them all. In signs there are a large number of prohibitions of something. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the most common signs.

There is no need to wash dishes when visiting, since the washer will wash away the energy from the dishes and from the family living in this house. It was believed that this could lead to failure and discord in communication with the family. If a person with magical abilities asked to wash the dishes, in this way he could spoil money luck. When there was at least one unmarried girl in the family, guests were forbidden to participate in washing the dishes, because the one who washed them could steal all the suitors from the unmarried woman. From an ethical point of view, your desire to help the owners of the house deal with dirty dishes is understandable, but every woman is a mistress in her own kitchen. Better help clear the table.

Sometimes you are amazed when you hear about this or that sign. You can break your head until you understand where this sign’s legs grow from.

In the past, this problem was not so pressing as to seriously think about whether a wife could or could not climb over her sleeping husband.

How did families of different countries and peoples live?

For many peoples, the house was divided into two halves. In one of them there were men, in the other, respectively, women. And there was simply no need to climb over the spouse.

Among the peoples of Egypt, for example, a husband invited his wife to his territory. And among the inhabitants of Greece and Ancient Rome, the husband came to visit the wife.
In Tsarist Russia, noble strata of society, as a rule, also had a house consisting of two halves, female and male. Nowadays, in financially independent European families, separate bedrooms for spouses are in fashion.
And Finnish and Swedish families often sleep in separate beds, but in the same room. In the Land of the Rising Sun and the Celestial Empire, sex and sleep are subject to a peculiar schedule: during the day, love pleasures await, and at night, healthy, sound sleep on tatami beds separate from each other.

But in our time, the housing problem has ruined everything. We have a single marriage bed - this is an integral attribute of family happiness. If a wife and husband sleep in separate rooms and curious friends and relatives find out about this, then this is considered a disaster and ends with predictions about the speedy breakup of the family.

It must be said that Russians are not alone in this regard, for example, in Germany, Italy, Spain and Latin American countries, a common marital bed was also a mandatory, indisputable symbol of marital happiness.

Why can't a wife climb over a man? A common bed is not yet a guarantee of happiness

In our country, family problems of a common bed have taken the form of this difficult-to-understand sign: a wife cannot climb over a man. Why exactly? Here is some interpretation of this strange prejudice:

if a wife does not want to bring misfortune and trouble on her husband, she should not climb over him. And burn everything with a bright flame. If the wife sleeps against the wall, and the husband’s legs and head rest against the headboards of the bed, then until he gets enough sleep, the wife is literally in captivity;
a wife is not allowed to climb over her husband, it is assumed that by doing so she unwittingly spoils him. Well, here is the reason for the countless number of spoiled men! A woman should not be on top of a man. This interpretation is more than doubtful;
a woman cannot climb over a man, because, without meaning to, she takes away the strength of her husband. But there is an antidote for this case. Make a man eat forty ends of boiled carrots, and he will understand that life is good and will allow you to climb over him all night without hindrance;
There is a very interesting sign: if a woman in the middle of the night suddenly has an irresistible desire to sleepily climb over her husband, this is intuition. Congratulations, your husband has decided to take a mistress.

Many smart people say that family relationships are the joint work of two respecting and loving hearts. Don't let stupid and strange prejudices rob you of this happiness.

The existence of folk signs and superstitions has lasted since the beginning of humanity. And they accompany us throughout our lives. Their origins go back to the distant depths of antiquity. This was helped by the absolute and undeniable meanings that generally accepted signs and superstitions about life have. Existing in a wide variety of forms and manifestations, often folk signs and signals contain an accurate reflection of the essence of the processes that happen to us almost every day.

Interpretation may vary

Folk signs and superstitions about life are human observations that have been passed on from mouth to mouth for several millennia. Very often situations occur when the interpretation of the same symbols and signs among representatives of different nations is completely different from each other. For example, a Russian person perceives a black cat that crosses the road as a very negative omen, while an Egyptian, regardless of color, perceives this animal as a sign of impending good luck.

Signs played an important role

In ancient times, generally accepted signs and superstitions about life accompanied people not only in their personal lives, but also when making decisions at the state level. There were often cases when the outcome of a war was determined only by which foot the leader got up from in the morning. Folk signs and superstitions are considered to be those that have already gone out of use, but continue to influence our actions.

Very often, various signs perfectly reflect the true essence of what is happening to a person. But it is necessary to remember that folk signs and superstitions about life also contain a large number of false assumptions and misconceptions, giving an explanation for almost any sacrament in the form of a manifestation of forces of a supernatural, mystical nature. That is why we should not perceive the various signs encountered at every step as exclusively correct explanations of the events that happen to us. This may just be parting words for making an internal decision.

What could be the signs?

There are a huge number of folk signs and superstitions, but it just so happens that in most cases a person remembers and attaches greater importance to bad omens. Therefore, it is not surprising that the most famous and popular beliefs, to a significant extent, do not promise us anything good. Good folk signs and superstitions come across much less often.

Generally accepted signs regarding our lives are associated with the daily manifestation of everyday activities, important events that occur regularly. We should consider in more detail those folk signs and superstitions that may be associated with our daily activities.

Beliefs that can accompany people in everyday life

The bad ones are not noticed by many at the present stage. And this happens until something happens. This is due to the fact that we simply ignore superstitions. Of all the signs, many talk about failures in business or endeavors. And it was they who attracted more attention, since a negative result in solving problems is always stored in memory. In addition, there are many more bad signs.

The most well-known negative superstitions include the one that states that if a black cat crosses your path, then nothing good can happen after that. And if a plate breaks, then you have to wait for happiness. But such a sign will speak of good things only if everything happens by chance.

Popular superstitions

Some signs should be highlighted.

If you leave the slippers you wear at home in a crossed position, you are inviting disaster.
Soggy salt portends bad weather.
Sweeping dust from your own home means sweeping good fortune from your family.
Under no circumstances should you place a hat on the table, as this will lead to lack of money.
It is not a good sign to exchange glasses during a meal.
Misfortune is foreshadowed by porridge running out of the pan.
To prevent misfortune from befalling you, you must return the knife that was taken for the purpose of cutting an apple or other fruit. This must be done “with a smile.”
A change in weather is indicated by creaking and crackling furniture in the house.
What other signs and superstitions are there about life? A mirror that fell and broke has a negative meaning. This indicates the imminent death of a loved one.
Passing salt to someone at the table during a meal portends a quarrel with this person. To prevent this, you need to laugh when passing this product.
If you are returning a previously taken bucket, basket, bag, plate, jar, you need to put something in them. These items should not be given away empty. Then you too will have more.
It is believed that laughter at the table encourages the demon to shit in the food.
Uneaten food and unfinished drink are considered abandoned evils.
Leaving the keys on the table means there is no money in the house.
If you put on your left sleeve first in your clothes, expect trouble.

What are the birds trying to tell us?

There are signs and superstitions about birds. Even in ancient times, many peoples used birds in mystical rituals, casting spells or simply telling fortunes. The bird symbolized the human soul. And such an association has remained. Today there are not only good superstitions, but also superstitions about life. Birds play the leading role in them. And it is worth noting that some signs have been scientifically substantiated.

Among the verified observations, one should highlight the belief regarding swallows that fly low. This indicates that it will rain soon. The veracity of this sign is very easy to explain. Before rains there is a decrease in atmospheric pressure. Accordingly, the insects that swallows catch begin to fly very low.

A large number of folk signs are associated with crows, chickens and sparrows. For example, there is a belief that if all the hens start clucking at once, a quarrel will occur in the family. If a chicken starts crowing like a rooster, then we should expect trouble.

The titmouse is the hero of both bad and good omens. If she suddenly flies into the window or knocks on it, expect trouble. There are other interpretations that explain the behavior of the bird. Her arrival suggests that good things should be expected soon. This is due to the fact that the tit is considered by some people to be a representative of the forces of light. And in folk legends it is often equated with the Blue Bird, which symbolizes happiness.

Several signs with birds

What other signs and superstitions are worth highlighting? Birds often make people nervous with their behavior. Here are some examples of superstitions:

If a bird flies into a house through a window and immediately flies out, this indicates that a message will arrive soon. In some beliefs, this symbolizes that someone will die soon.
A stork made a nest on a pipe? This is for wealth and happiness.
If a bird flies into the chimney of a fireplace, it means someone's death.
The raven cawing above the house speaks of illness.
If a bird lands on a window, the owner of the house will face material costs.
If a woodpecker starts knocking on the roof of a house, then you should expect trouble.
If a bird dies in a cage on the morning of the wedding day, the marriage will be unhappy.
If a stork begins to move away from a certain place before the allotted time, then a misfortune will occur in that area.
When a bird hovers over or around a house, it indicates that someone will soon become ill.
The three-time cawing of a crow flying over the house speaks of death.
The flight of a bird of prey around the house symbolizes betrayal.
When a swallow, having built its nest, leaves it, disaster will occur.
